Donald Trump faces fresh legal hurdles as courts weigh free speech protections against alleged criminal activity in a high-stakes case.
Former President Donald Trump confronts fresh legal complications as courts examine the boundary between political speech and criminal activity.
Legal experts are analyzing how the trial will navigate claims involving protected political expression versus alleged criminal behavior.
